A phone call to 311 resulted in the seizure of nearly two dozen dogs living in "deplorable conditions" at a Northeast Side San Antonio home on Tuesday, according to Animal Care Services.

Investigators obtained a warrant for the home in the 300 block of Brettenwood Drive, said Aimee Decontreras, the Animal Care Services field operations manager, and in all they seized 23 dogs and puppies who were left without food or water.

Some were underweight but most appeared to be in good health, Decontreras said.

"We see situations like this and we want to come in as fast as we can and change conditions for the animals," she said. "Hopefully we get some swift justice."
